Uh, correction. We rented a boat. I may be rich, but buying a boat would be going a bit overboard.

Steven

Ayyy.

Greg

Ayyyyy.

Greg and Steven

Ayyyyy!

Greg

Just a joke I picked up from some sailors. They have a surprisingly clean sense of humor.

Lapis

Steven, who is this?

Greg

Uh, Greg Universe. (Offers a handshake to Lapis.) You broke my leg trying to use the ocean to fly back to your homeworld?

Lapis

Lapis Lazuli. Nice to meet you.

(Greg holds out his hand expecting a handshake which never comes, making the moment awkward.)

Greg

Great! Well, I'll get the boat started.

Steven

So what do you think?

Lapis

It's nice, Steven... but I don't know.

Steven

Look, Lapis, I know you spent a really long time fused with Jasper at the bottom of the ocean, but you're not Malachite anymore. And water is a part of who you are. You can't let one bad experience take that away from you.

Lapis

It was more than one.

Steven

Just give it a chance. I promise we'll make this the most fun you've ever had.

Lapis

Steven, I... Don't deserve this.

Steven

Of course you do! We even named her Li'l Lappy.

(Greg is seen giving a thumbs up to the name until he realizes the taped coverup paper fell off and showed its real name, "S.S. MISERY." to Lapis' amusement.)

Lapis

[Snorts then laughs.] Okay. I'll give it a chance. But, just one.

(Lapis picks up Steven and flies to the floor of the boat.)

Steven

Woah! [Laughs]

Greg

(Speaking into a speaker microphone) You two ready to set sail?

Steven

Aye, aye, Captain!

Lapis

Yes.

Greg

(Sounding the horn) Full speed ahe-- Woah!

(A piece of wood was pulled off the dock since Greg forgot to unlock the cord keeping the yacht at bay.)

Greg

Ah, geez, you think anyone will notice?

(Steven, Greg, and Lapis set sail, their progress seen in a birds-eye view.)

Greg

Wow, I think I did a number on that dock. Maybe somebody else should take a shot at being captain. What do you say, Captain Lazuli?

Uh, that's okay. Don't worry about it. We can all be first mates, so there's no pressure. Only fun stuff today!

(Lapis is pleased with the plan, including Greg, who continues to offer the Captain's hat.)

Greg

Lapis, you can still wear the hat, if you want.

Lapis

Thanks, but I'm not putting that on my body.

Greg

(Puts the hat back on.) Let's set a course for f-u-u-un!

(Upbeat music plays as Steven and Greg enjoy their time on the yacht. Lapis is not as energetic from noticing the unknown but eventually enjoys herself as she continues to pull the horn. Afterward, they talk to Greg, who is seen fishing.)

Steven

Dad! Dad!

Greg

Hey, you two. Finally get enough of that horn?

Steven

What?!

Greg

[Chuckles]

Lapis

What are you doing?

Greg

Catching fish. (Throws the hook into the water.)

Lapis

Oh, I can help! [Sighs]

(Lapis steps back and uses her hydrokinesis to lift a large mass of water containing plenty of fish.)

Greg

[Gasps] What the?!

Steven

Woah.

Greg

That's a pretty uh... fancy way of catching fish.

Steven

That's 'cause Lapis is super strong!

Greg

Well, I, Uh, appreciate the gesture, but I-I think it would be safer to stick to the old-fashioned way of doing it.

Lapis

Oh, uh... sure.

(Lapis shoots the large mass of water back into the ocean which causes a large ripple that shakes the boat and makes it creak.)

Steven and Greg

Woah!

Steven

Wow, Lapis! That was ama... (Lapis puts her hand on Steven's head to calm him.) zing...

Lapis

So, how do you fish the old-fashioned way?

Greg

Oh, it's pretty simple. You start with a rod, and you put a hook on the end of your line. And then, when you feel a nibble, you reel it in. And there it is. You've caught yourself a fish to eat!

Lapis

But why would a fish ever bite a hook?

Greg

You got to bait it. Put something on it you know it wants, like a worm or a $20 bill. Here, I'll show you. (Throws the hook back into the water.) Fishing.

(Time skips by as Greg continues to fish. Steven and Lapis get impatient.)

Lapis

When does the fish part happen?

Greg

Well, sometimes it isn't about the fish you keep, but the company you catch. (Notices a nibble.) Woah! I got a bite!

Steven

[Gasps]

Greg

Lapis, here! Give it a try! Hold it just like that and reel it in slowly.

Lapis

Like this?

Greg

You got it. It looks like a big one!

(Lapis continues to reel in but faces difficulty as she is pulled back with great force.)

Steven

Lapis!

Greg

Steven!

(They both grab hold onto Lapis and help her pull.)

Steven

[Grunts] You got it, Lapis! Reel it in!

Lapis

It's... pulling... so hard!

(The silhouetted entity is about to emerge. Lapis is shocked as the line snaps and lets it sink back.)

Greg

[Sighs] Looks like this pole rental turned into a pole purchase. But you did a great job tangling with that beast.

Steven

Y-yeah. Don't worry about that one getting away.

Lapis

Oh, thank you.

Greg

Welp, that's my adventure quota for the day. I'll be at the controls. Holler if you need me.

Steven

Yes, sir! Lapis, what do you... (Steven notices they disappeared from their area.) Lapis? (Steven notices her sitting on a patio lounge chair.

Steven

Hey. Whatcha doing?

Lapis

I just thought I'd sit for a bit.

Steven

You looked like a real pro fisher before the pole snapped.

Lapis

Thanks.

Steven

Hmm. So, fishing was a bust, but I-I got something that'll cheer you up. Shuffleboard! What do you say?

(The ship starts to shake as something is heard crashing.)

Steven

Ahh!, Ugh! [Groans] What was that?

(The crash happens again, and continues to happen.)

Steven and Lapis

Ahh!

Lapis

Are you okay?

Steven

Yeah.

Lapis

What's going on?

Greg

Steven! You got a moment?

Steven

Is everything okay, First Mate Dad?

Greg

Shh! You hear that?

(Silence as the crashing stops.)

Steven

Uhhh... no.

Greg

I guess it stopped. I think something's wrong with the boat.

(Greg tries to turn the wheel to no success.)

Greg

Aw, geez, something's throwing off the rudder. I don't know what's going on, and this owner's manual is no help. It's mostly advice on sun tanning and what crackers go with caviar.

Steven

Well, what crackers go with caviar?

Greg

Water crackers.

Steven and Greg

Ayyyyyyyyyyyy!

(Muffled thumping is heard inside the yacht.)

Greg

[Gasps] There it is.

(The yacht begins to rumble then crash again. Greg and Steven go over to check the internal of the yacht. It begins to leak smoke which causes Steven and Greg to cough profusely.)

Greg

Oh, crud! The engine! I don't know how to fix an engine. This trip might be a little longer than we thought, little buddy.

(The scene transitions to an overcast weather. Lapis is seen staring at the scene of the ocean.)

Steven

Lapis? Um... I have some not-so-good news. There's trouble with the engine, and we might be stuck out here for a while.

Lapis

[Sighs]

Steven

[Sighs] I'm so sorry! This whole thing is my fault. I just wanted you to have fun, but everything's a mess. I shouldn't have made you come on this trip.

Lapis

It's my fault. I'm the one to blame.

Steven

That's not true.

Lapis

I'm really trying to enjoy it out here, but... I can't stop thinking about being fused as Malachite, how I used all my strength to hold her down in the ocean, and how I was always battling against Jasper to keep her bound to me.
